MUMBAI: The pothole menace, which has dominated Goa’s political and social discourse throughout the monsoon this year now has a music video dedicated to them.
“Potholes have been a major concern in Goa. Of course, many of us speak about it almost daily, but I thought it would be interesting to write a funny, sarcastic song on this issue, which I did,” Rodrigues has said.
The video highlights the poor plight of roads, especially in and around Panaji, and sarcastically presents them as new vistas for tourism in the coastal state.

Called the #Rosto (a road in Konkani) song, crooned by choreographer Cecille Lee Rodrigues, is a take-off on an iconic Konkani all time classic number Bebdo sung by Lorna.
This comes after a video went viral that showed a man dressed as an astronaut ‘Moonwalking’ on potholes in Bengaluru.
